ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a drying operation of a combined sensing type clothes dryer including a drum, a heat exchanging fan, a motor, a heater, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, the sensors being disposed between the drum and the heat exchanging fan, comprising the steps of calculating an average value of the sum of a temperature variation per unit time detected by the temperature sensor and a humidity value sensed by the humidity sensor, both of which is detected when a predetermined time (t.sub.SH) has been elapsed from the beginning of the drying operation, determining the fabric quantity of clothes as one of a small fabric quantity, a large fabric quantity and an excessive fabric quantity, based on the calculated average value, and controlling the drying operation, based on the determined fabric quantity. Taking into consideration the ambient temperature, the fabric quantity is determined, thereby capable of preventing an occurrence of an error of the fabric quantity determination.
